The sophomore defensive midfielder from Central scored the only goal for the Jaguars in their 1-0 win over Livingston in the bidistrict round of the playoffs.

Central came into the game with the fourth seed out of district 38-4A, while Livingston was the top seed after winning the 37-4A championship.

But that didn't matter in Gaspar's mind.

"I expected us to win that game," Gaspar said about playing Livingston. "(It was) very good."

In the area round, Central will take on Magnolia West, the runners-up of 40-4A. They defeated Willis 3-0 in the area round.

Brian Bean, the first year Central head boys soccer coach, told his team to focus on the little things going into the game against Livingston.

"We try to get the guys to understand (if) you do all the little things right and to the best of your abilities, those are the type of things that earn the victory at the end of the game," Bean said. "Handle your business in the classroom, being a good teammate, giving your best effort. That was a very good showing for us."
